Update: Received My First 3 Letters!

Tonight, I had received a phone call from Ryan's mother. She wanted to know if I had gotten anything from him in the mail yet. I said no, but to my surprise she had said she had gotten her first one today. I was extremely overjoyed to hear that. So of course, I was excited to get to my mailbox and see if I had gotten one. Yet another surprise was awaiting me: I received not one, but three letters! My heart beat extremely fast and I was so overcome with happiness. It made all of that waiting worth while. He's doing good and is keeping an awesome attitude about things. I'm so proud of him! I couldn't be any prouder. :)

My boyfriend will be joining the army in a couple of months. I don't know how to cope with it. I am too afraid to lose him and don't wanna let him go, but at the same time, I wanna support him and be there for him. Does anyone have tips for me?
